Senokot natural laxative 100 tablets

Senokot Natural Laxative 100 pack is an over-the-counter medication designed to provide gentle relief from occasional constipation. 

Features:

• Natural Laxative: Contains sennoside, a stimulant laxative derived from the senna plant. It works by increasing the movement of fluids within the intestines, promoting bowel movements.
• Gentle Relief: Typically takes effect within 6-12 hours, often overnight.
• Large Pack: The 100 tablet count is suitable for extended use or multiple users in a household.
• Over-the-Counter: Available without a prescription.

Active Ingredient:

• Senna (standardized sennoside glycosides equivalent to 8.6mg sennoside B per tablet): This is the natural stimulant laxative that helps to relieve constipation.

How to Use:

• Adults and Children 12 years and older: Take 2 tablets once a day, preferably at bedtime. You can adjust the dosage to 1 tablet if two tablets cause excessive bowel movements. Do not exceed 4 tablets in 24 hours.
• Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water.

Things to Consider:

• Read the Label Carefully: Follow the dosage instructions on the label precisely based on your response.
• Not for Everyone: Consult a doctor before using Senokot if you have certain medical conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking other medications.
• Not for Long-Term Use: Senokot is intended for occasional relief of constipation. Chronic constipation requires medical evaluation.
• Potential Side Effects: Senokot may cause cramping, abdominal discomfort, or loose stools. If these persist or worsen, consult a doctor.
• Habit-Forming: With prolonged use, your body may become reliant on Senokot to have a bowel movement.
• Not a Cure: Senokot relieves constipation symptoms but doesn't address the underlying cause.

Alternatives:

• Lifestyle Changes: Increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of fluids, and regular exercise can help promote regularity and prevent constipation.
• Other Laxatives: Depending on your needs, other laxative options like stool softeners, bulk-forming laxatives (increased fiber content), or stronger stimulant laxatives (use with caution and only under doctor supervision) might be suitable.
